Comments:

Apparently the result of a fortuitous accident. Workers dumped a quantity of old (20-30 yo)Ardbeg into a vat already containing some Glen Moray 12 yo. Someone tasted the result (20% Glen Moray, 80% Ardbeg) and here we are. A good combination of smoke and sweet stuff. I particularly love the buttery, creamy finish - it lasts for ages.

Verdict:

I like this a lot!
